许多领域的研究都认为，当代全球工业文明不会以目前的形式无限期地持续下去，而且可能会像过去的许多人类社会一样，最终崩溃。环境研究、人类学和其他领域的争论表明，这种转变可能在未来半个世纪内开始开始。虽然即将崩溃还远远不能确定，但现在考虑如何开发用于这些情景的社会技术系统是谨慎的。我们介绍了崩溃信息学的概念-在丰富的现在用于稀缺的未来的社会技术系统的研究，设计和开发-作为对ICT 4D和以缓解为导向的可持续HCI的补充。我们借鉴了各种文献，提供了一套相关的概念，并阐明它们之间的关系，以定位和评估崩溃信息学工作。观察到，崩溃信息学提出了一个独特的跨文化设计问题，我们勾勒出崩溃信息学的设计空间，并提供了各种示例项目。我们探讨了崩溃信息学和可持续HCI，ICT 4D和危机信息学之间的联系和区别。最后，我们讨论了下一步，并评论崩溃信息学工作的潜在价值，即使在崩溃从未发生的情况下。
Research in many fields argues that contemporary global industrial civilization will not persist indefinitely in its current form, and may, like many past human societies, eventually collapse. Arguments in environmental studies, anthropology, and other fields indicate that this transformation could begin within the next half-century. While imminent collapse is far from certain, it is prudent to consider now how to develop sociotechnical systems for use in these scenarios. We introduce the notion of collapse informatics---the study, design, and development of sociotechnical systems in the abundant present for use in a future of scarcity---as a complement to ICT4D and mitigation-oriented sustainable HCI. We draw on a variety of literatures to offer a set of relevant concepts and articulate the relationships among them to orient and evaluate collapse informatics work. Observing that collapse informatics poses a unique class of cross-cultural design problems, we sketch the design space of collapse informatics and provide a variety of example projects. We explore points of connection and distinction between collapse informatics and sustainable HCI, ICT4D, and crisis informatics. Finally, we discuss next steps and comment on the potential value of collapse informatics work even in the event that collapse never occurs.
